Singapore: Return first class flights from London; two nights at Marina Bay Sands.

Explore the buzzing city-state of Singapore

Marina Bay Sands Hotel, Singapore

Infinity pool at Marina Bay Sands hotel, Singapore

Board your first class flight from London to Singapore and transfer for a two-night stay at Marina Bay Sands. Comprising three 55-storey towers that dominate the city skyline, this luxury resort boasts lavish suites with personal butler service. Guests can unwind in the world’s largest rooftop infinity pool, savour award-winning fine dining and shop in endless designer boutiques at the on-site mall.

You’ll spend the next couple of days exploring Singapore at your leisure. This island city-state off the coast of southern Malaysia is full of iconic sights, from the grand City Hall with its imposing Corinthian columns to the red-and-gold Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, which is rumoured to be home to one of Buddha's teeth. The UNESCO World Heritage-listed Singapore Botanic Gardens offer a peaceful interlude from the urban hubbub, while the city’s eclectic culinary scene ranges from casual street food to Michelin-starred fine dining.

Discover Cambodia’s legendary temples

Amansara, Cambodia

Cambodia's legendary temple, Angkor Wat

Fly in unrivalled style by private jet to Cambodia for a two-night stay at Amansara. Located on the outskirts of Siem Reap just a 10-minute drive from the iconic temples of Angkor Wat, this 24-suite retreat was once the guest villa of King Norodom Sihanouk. When not exploring the region’s cultural treasures, guests can relax in two tranquil swimming pools and indulge in rejuvenating holistic treatments at the world-class spa.

During your stay, you’ll have the chance to explore the fabled temple ruins of Angkor from a privileged perspective. Private excursions include a sunrise tour of Angkor Wat, exploring the temple’s incredible interior before witnessing dawn in almost total seclusion; and a scenic cruise on Tonle Sap Lake past a captivating landscape of floating and stilted villages. You’ll also experience a deeply moving water blessing with a Buddhist monk, an authentic Cambodian ritual that offers an important insight into the country’s deep spirituality.

Witness an ancient alms-giving ritual in Laos

Amantaka, Luang Prabang

Wat Xieng Thong temple in Luang Prabang

Board a private jet from Siem Reap to Laos’ spiritual capital, Luang Prabang, where you’ll spend the next two nights at Amantaka. Set on a large garden estate at the foot of sacred Mount Phousi, guests at this elegant French Colonial resort can recharge in luxurious suites with private pools and enjoy healing wellness treatments at a state-of-the-art spa.

While in the UNESCO-protected town of Luang Prabang, you’ll embark on a private guided bicycle tour through Luang Prabang’s beautiful surroundings, visiting several historic temples and the Royal Palace; and watch the centuries-old tradition of alms-giving, which sees monks walk through the town at dawn accepting gifts of breakfast items like sticky rice from the local townsfolk. You’ll also visit the morning market with one of the hotel’s chefs, buying fresh ingredients before learning to create your very own Laotian meal at the resort’s organic farm in Phongvan Village; and take a private cruise along the Mekong River to the limestone caves at Pak Ou.

Indulge in rest and relaxation in Vietnam

Vinh Hy Bay, Vietnam

Amanoi, Vietnam

Continue by private jet from Luang Prabang to Vietnam for a two-night stay at Amanoi, a secluded retreat perched over Vinh Hy Bay amidst the untouched wilderness of Nui Chua National Park – home to some of the world’s most diverse wildlife. Oozing understated luxury, this tranquil haven boasts an exceptional wellness spa and a private beach lapped by crystal-clear waters and fringed with colourful coral.

A stay at Amanoi is all about relaxation and rejuvenation. While here you’ll take a trek to Bai Thit Beach, a turtle conservation area, continuing on to the fascinating Bai Da Rock Park, which is thought to have once been home to dinosaurs. Unwind with a ‘Purify Spa Journey’ back at the hotel, designed to release tensions with a full-body exfoliation, mineral-rich body wrap and a therapeutic head or foot massage. You’ll also experience an open-air sacred blessing at dusk with a respected local Cham Master, before tucking into a traditional feast under the starlit sky.
